CMC jack plate question, help.

[Carter Powell]

I need to find a way to install a limit switch for height on a CMC jack plate. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Carter

You can buy a waterproof limit switch on ebay cheap. Fab a small bracket to mount it on the fixed side of the plate. Put a bolt and/or small bracket through the moving side of the plate so when it reaches the height you want it cuts the up feed.

Try to fab an adjustable switch or switch actuator mount. If you knew the motor height you wanted, you wouldn’t need a hyd jack plate. Therefore you probably don’t know where you want either high or low limit yet. And use relays. Probly goes without saying.
